HC Deb 14 November 1962 vol 667 c52W
63. Mr. Holt

asked the Minister of Transport what proposals he has for speeding up the present programme of new road construction in Lancashire to deal with the increasing congestion.

Mr. Marples

As I told the hon. Member on 2nd August, Lancashire is already getting a large share of the total provision for new road construction and will continue to do so for the next few years. I have, however, found it possible to bring forward for starting this year additional schemes in Lancashire to the value of almost £1 million.
